Pubs

Pubs...

Pubs, Public Houses, Inns, Taverns and Boozers. Dorset has a few of these, but not as many as it once did. They are all great in their way, but it depends on what you’re after.

From the picturesque and historical to the functional and the forlorn. Gastro-pub to crisps and pickled eggs. They are all out there and mostly gems in their own way.

Dorsetcamper.com has yet to sample every ale-house in the County (and has no intention of giving staff the time or funds to do so!), but here we hope to provide a selection of the pubs we’ve found useful, interesting or fun.

We’re not saying our list is exhaustive nor that you’ll enjoy them just because we did. That’s kind of the nature of English, and especially, Dorset pubs. They have a character all of their own. And some characters you get on with and some you don’t! And sometimes you just had to be there at the time for it to make any sense at all!

And don’t forget, just because you don’t get on with particular characters doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either of you. It’s probably that you’re just not suited to each other and you can’t blame anyone for that!

So if you can’t find the pub that’s right for you, just keep on looking. There’s plenty out there even now! Check out Dorset Camper’s Dorset Pub Directory below!
